Great!

Only the attachment with the two new files have been sent to the
mailing list; the patch file is missing.  Please resend.

Some comments:

autoconf 2.56 is too old; you need 2.59 to have the `abs_xxx_dir'
variables work correctly.  As a consequence, I don't have to use
AC_HELP_STRING which is now marked as obsolete.  I will do those fixes
by myself.

Please don't do that in future postings.  What you've done in your
mail is the right solution and fully sufficient: ChangeLog entries
should always be sent separately so that the patch applies cleanly
even if there have been other changes meanwhile (which normally
produce new entries in the ChangeLog file).
